HTML5 Copied Game

In May 2012, students need to use the FireFox browser rather than Internet Explorer for testing and developing HTML5 games in the computer lab!

Create a non-trivial game or other interactive web page that is cloned or copied in part or in while from an existing game on the Web such as html5games.net.

You will be graded on the following categories:

a/ how well the game works - The game must correctly function in an HTML5-compatible web browser when viewed locally on a computer in our classroom from its location in your HandIn folder.

b/ level of complication - The game must not be trivial. However, you may have difficulty copying some games since some authors purposefully obfuscate their code or separate the code into several .css (Cascading Style Sheets) and .js (Javascript) files that are linked to the original page.

c/ Coding Standards - The code must be easy to read and modify. Clean up the original author's code by adding blank lines between functions, around if statements, etc.

d/ classroom productivity - You will lose points if you are not productive in the instructor's judgement.

e/ submitted, named & annotated correctly - Name your file JDoeHTML5GamePong.html where your first initial and last name for "JDoe" are used and a word that reflects the title or purpose of the game is substituted for "Pong". Place the file into your HandIn folder. If the game consists of more than one file (graphics, CSS files, Javascript .js script files, etc), all files must be placed into a folder named JDoeHTML5GamePong. Add an HTML comment that includes the exact web page address where you found the copied game such as <!-- http://minich.com/game.html -->

Upload the game to your Public folder at dropbox and you must create a link from your Google Site to that file so that anyone can play the game.

Call the instructor to your computer to receive a run-time grade for this project.
